GrantedPACT Act
The Board granted service connection for right and left lower extremity neuropathy, as well as an effective date of August 21, 2020, for the award of service connection for a depressive disorder with generalized anxiety disorder and unspecified sleep-wake disorder.
The deciding factor: The evidence was at least evenly balanced to support a finding that the Veteran's bilateral lower extremity neuropathy is related to his exposure to herbicide agents while stationed on the DMZ in Korea, and he has continuously pursued the claim for an acquired psychiatric disorder since August 21, 2020.
